Why Is VEGF Crucial For Understanding Diabetic Retinopathy? - Optometry Knowledge Base

Why Is VEGF Crucial For Understanding Diabetic Retinopathy? Have you ever wondered what role VEGF plays in eye health and diabetic eye diseases? In this informative video, we'll explain everything you need to know about VEGF and its impact on diabetic retinopathy. We'll start by defining what VEGF is and how it influences blood vessel growth in the eye. You'll learn how high blood sugar levels can damage tiny blood vessels in the retina, leading to increased production of VEGF. We'll discuss how this process can cause fluid leakage, swelling, and abnormal blood vessel growth, which are major factors in vision loss associated with diabetic retinopathy. We'll also explain the importance of measuring VEGF levels for guiding treatment options, including anti-VEGF injections. These treatments help reduce swelling, prevent abnormal vessel growth, and can even improve vision in some cases. Additionally, we'll cover how controlling blood sugar and blood pressure can help manage VEGF production and protect your eyesight. Whether you're a patient, caregiver, or just interested in eye health, understanding VEGF is key to appreciating how diabetic retinopathy affects vision and how modern treatments can make a difference.
